Purchased at Negro League Museum on last trip to Kansas City. Read on drive to Montana to retrieve boys from in-laws. This is a familiar story, having read Posnanski's _Soul of Baseball_, but wonderful all the same. Buck's story and the Negro Leagues are fully ensconced in the consciousness of his country, thanks to his efforts. I was especially struck by his quick mentions of his time in the segregated US Navy in WWII.
